Enhancements

  • Node transport addresses are now consistently reported using only their IP address and port, rather than a subset reporting their resolved hostname, IP address, and port.

edit

Bug Fixes

2.3.4

edit

July 7, 2016

2.0.0

October 28, 2015

Breaking ChangesMonitoring 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite from Monitoring 1.3. If you are upgrading from Monitoring 1.3, note that the Monitoring agent plugin only needs to be installed on the Elasticsearch nodes you are monitoring. If you need to stop collecting data from a node, remove the plugin or set the xpack.monitoring.enabled configuration parameter to false. (The xpack.monitoring.agent.enabled parameter is no longer supported.)

New Features

  • Fully-integrated with Kibana 4.2 as a Kibana plugin.
  • Supports Multiple clusters for Paid Subscriptions
  • Reduced data footprint for Monitoring indices
  • Simplified dashboards for Indices and Nodes
  • Better support for large clusters
